Cookies; something to make with the kids on lockdown

Cookies are great to make with kids, they’re easy, quick and delicious (and kids love them!)

To the recipe, this is a sightly simplified version to make it easier for the kids.

Ingredients (Makes 15-20 cookies)

•     300g plain flour
•     200g caster sugar
•     200g butter (melted)
•     1 tsp baking powder
•     1 tsp vanilla extract
•     1 egg
•     100-200g chocolate chips or broken up chocolate bars

Cooking method (30 minutes)

1.     Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan).
2.     Mix the melted butter, vanilla extract and sugar together with a wooden spoon in a mixing bowl.
3.     Sift the flour and baking powder and mix well.
4.     Add the chocolate chips and mix.
5.     Line a baking tray (or trays) with baking paper.
6.     Roll the cookie dough into small balls (you should get 15-20) and flatten them slightly onto the baking tray leaving about 2 inches between them.
7.     Bake for 15-20 minutes (it depends on the size) until the edges start to turn slightly golden.
8.     Enjoy! (I prefer them when they’re still warm).
